I have this really weird problem. The brief version is that copying

can't even see the BIOS screen on startup, it just hangs there. I need
to connect the drive through a USB enclosure and wipe out the partition
to be able to boot again.
Weird problem! As Marcelo said, a drive issue should have nothing to do
with BIOS showing. Maybe as it enumerates the hard drives it could
pause, but I can't see a filesystem issue doing anything to this process
unless the BIOS wants data from it.
Is it possible the new drive is using more power for some reason and
therefore the PSU can't keep up? Perhaps when you reboot if you
unplugged your linux drive (or the external one) it would boot the
single drive.
All conjecture.
After you write files to the windows drive you could unmount it then
remount it to check for file consistency. If anything was the culprit on
linux it would seem to have to be the NTFS driver (assuming this is an
NTFS drive), but that seems pretty unlikely since it is widely used now.
